Note that the maximum number of bonus points that can be earned from this bonus promotion is capped at 20,000.
Also, the terms state that the stays booked during the bonus promotion are eligible for the bonus points and those paid using cards issued in the region.
Conclusion
Hilton Honors has had similar promotion in the Asia-Pacific in the previous years and the points have posted when paid using Visa cards issued outside of the region as well (I would assume that this would be the case this time as well).
Not sure what to think of this booking date requirement. I believe this is the first time I see something like this on a promotion run by Hilton Honors. Not sure if this is enforced or not.
